    How do you get work?

    Also I wonder how you interpret freelancing sites like <<removed>> and <<removed>> as crowdsourcing sites?

    How do you get work?

    I don't agree with you when you state that there were links to the sites. I only mentioned some freelancing sites by their name (no links) and it feels a bit like censorship to not be able to even mention freelancing sites. It would be interesting to know the reason to why it's not possible to...

    .design

    I have though about buying a .design domain. Not to replace my current domain, but to give me extra presence on the Internet. I think the trick here is to get a short or catchy domain name, where the ending .design completes it. we.design is a perfect example. best.design could be another good...

    I need some help with my web design

    You should remove the background image with the white iPhone. It's colliding with the header and articles. The "social media" category is empty. Why? In the "write for me" section there is an email form, where people can get in touch with you if they want to write for you. Could you explain why...

    Looking for design feedback on electronics website

    I would suggest that you add SSL to the site. Otherwise there will be information in the address bar saying that the connection is not secure. It's very important if you run an online business, that you add SSL so information on the site cannot be compromised. In the checkout area, powered by...

    How to deal with clients who waste your time

    It's an interesting situation that OP describes. I think all graphic designers have been in a situation where a client is wasting one's time. The best solution is to take money upfront for the work. For example 50%. This will prevent clients from not being co-operative or postponing things day...

    T shirt quality?

    Despite the obvious fact that this thread is old, I thought I could share some thoughts when it comes to t-shirt quality. I have some experience when it comes to buying plain t-shirts for printing. I like to play it safe, so when it comes to plain t-shirts I use either Glidan or Fruit of the...

    How do you get work?

    I focus on both offline and online channels to get work. In today's highly technical world where everybody is online, the importance of being active online has increased. As you're working solo I would recommend that you at least sign up on freelance websites like <<removed>, <removed> etc...

    I hate logos, I hate flyers, I hate tee shirts

    First of all, it's great that you have started your design career. I hope you will do well. In the beginning we all face questions like "Will the client like this?", "Maybe I should change it so it would look like that?" You have to be confident in what you do. If you weren't skilled in design...
